I heard the Rangers in Alaska generally have a shotgun with them when going into the bush. Not sure if the load is 00 buck or slugs, maybe a combo.

Slugs.

How can you tell the difference between black bear scat and grizzly bear scat?

Black bear scat has berries in it.

Grizzly bear scat smells like pepper spray.
